“If I can tell you that I had a way to quit wasting $1 billion a day of your tax money, I think you would be excited about it. It is that easy. We just pay off the national debt. Each day this Nation squanders $1 billion in interest on the national debt. We did it yesterday, we did it the day before that, and we will do it tomorrow; and by the way, we are going to do it every day for the rest of your life until we pay off the national debt. With that money do we educate a child, build a road, contribute to national security, fulfill our promise of lifetime health care to our retirees, no. That is why it makes it the most wasteful thing that we do as a Nation, is squandering your tax money in interest on the national debt. What troubles me in this whole tax cut debate is how many of my colleagues from the Republican party are ignoring the fact that this Nation is $5.7 trillion in debt.”
